The Fatalii is known for its fruity flavor and extreme heat, 200,000 to 300,000 shu, same as habanero, its genetic predecessor. It’s great for hot sauce that includes its citrus flavors; lime and lemon. The walls of the peppers are thin, and so it’s easy to dry and powder into spice. The Fatalii is a cultivar of the chili pepper, Capsicum chinense that was developed in southern or central Africa from chilis introduced from the Americas. The plants typically grow 20 to 25” tall, but may reach 3 feet or taller under optimal growing conditions. The peppers grow 2.5-3.5 inches long and about 0.75 to 1.5 inches wide. From a pale green, the most common variety matures to a bright yellow. Less common are red and white Fataliis. Indeterminate, keeps fruiting.

Feral Farm
Certified Organic by CCOF
Seed grower since 2015
I started growing seed commercially as an apprentice at the Organic Farm School in the Puget Sound in Washington. I already loved growing vegetables, but taking a plant all the way through its life cycle felt like a special kind of honor, and I quickly saw the value in sustaining organic, important, and rare plant varieties and participating in sustainable food systems in this way. I moved to Oregon in 2015 and have been growing my organic seed farming business over the last four seasons by renting land from existing farms and slowly taking on higher volumes and more varieties. I’m currently growing 1.6 acres of certified organic seed crops and heirloom garlic.
